Publisher's Summary

In The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Nathaniel Branden presents the culminating achievement of a lifetime of clinical practice and research. In this penetrating and provocative program, he conclusively demonstrates the importance of self-esteem in our quest for psychological health, personal achievement, and positive relationships.

"Yet how do we gain true self-esteem?" Dr. Branden introduces the six pillars of self-esteem - six action-based practices for daily living. Here for the first time are simple but powerful exercises for increasing personal awareness and effectiveness. Exploring the importance of self-esteem in the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and society, Dr. Branden provides guidelines for those responsible for fostering self-esteem in others - and shows why a culture of self-esteem is imperative for survival in the 21st century.

Life Changing For Me

At first it took a bit to follow the calm voice of Nathaniel. The inflections are subtle to what I'm used to. However, this is my 3rd time finishing the book and each time I come away with so much. I enjoy this audio very much.

Definitely a candidate for the second time reading

There is nothing new in what Dr. Branden is saying but he does that in very precise terms and formulations that leave out second meaning and ways to misinterpret. He promises that his exercises will help which is yet to be seen. Recommended!

I could not but this book down!

Thanks for reminding me that "no one is coming to save me". All I needed to be whole and feel worthy was right here all along standing in the shadows awaiting to be acknowledged. Thanks for guiding me on my path of self discovery and self love!
